Can you believe it? Its Thanksgiving week already.
Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of the year. Time to spend with our family and friends. Time to really appreciate all the wonderful things in our lives.

So be sure to take a few extra moments and thank God for all the blessings in your life. Things may not be perfect but we are still so blessed. We are alive and we have the opportunity to improve. That alone is a miracle we should all be grateful for. ♥️

We've all got excuses.
But we need to be stronger than those excuses and do what we know that we need to do.
We know that we need to be in a calorie deficit in order to lose weight. We know that we need to preform some type of exercise in order to build muscle and get stronger.

So what are we waiting for? Lets start today!
We can work together to help one another to be stronger than our excuses and live a healthier lifestyle. ♥️

One day at a time. Learning to make healthier choices for a healthier life. ♥️

10 Important Habits for a Healthier Life.

1. Drink enough water
Keep your body hydrated. Water keeps your energy up and supports every part of your health.

2. Get good sleep
Aim for 7 to 9 hours each night. Quality sleep helps you feel fresh and focused.

3. Eat real food
Choose fruits, vegetables, lean protein, whole grains, and healthy fats. Your body runs better on clean fuel.

4. Stay active every day
Even a walk or light exercise can lift your mood, give you energy, and help you live longer.

5. Manage stress
Try deep breathing, prayer, mindfulness, or quiet time to keep your mind calm.

6. Cut back on junk food and sugar
Too much harms your gut and drains your energy. Stick to natural and balanced meals.

7. Get sunlight and fresh air
Spending time outside boosts your mood and gives you vitamin D.

8. Keep positive connections
Surround yourself with people who care for you and lift you up.

9. Practice gratitude
Focus on what you have instead of what you lack. Gratitude improves mental strength.

10. Listen to your body
Rest when you are tired, eat when you are hungry, and care for yourself without guilt.

Keeping a food journal is a smart way to ensure that you're staying within a calorie deficit. Which of course is essential in order to lose weight. There are many ways we can track our food, this is just one more option that's available to us.

If you’re curious about how your eating habits affect you, a food diary is a great way to check in. Try it out for a week, a weekend or even a day and see what you learn.

Save this sample food log to get started, or copy and paste this into your notes app to help you start tracking:

Date
Time
Type of food/portion size
Calories
What I was doing while eating
How I was feeling
Did I feel satisfied after
